The bankruptcy judge overseeing Northwest Airlines Corp.’s financial reorganization efforts on Thursday gave the carrier and its unions more time to come up with a consensual agreement over their hotly debated collective bargaining agreements.
Judge Allan Gropper, who is overseeing the case, had until Thursday to come up with a decision regarding the carrier’s request to do away with collective bargaining agreements with its employees. He pushed back that decision until the close of business on Feb. 24, allowing the carrier and its unions more time to negotiate.
